Laurel Run mining transcript delay sparks state official complaints
Deputy State Attorney General Frank Ellison complains an appeal on reinstating the Laurel Run strip mining permit is stalled because Monongalia County Court Reporter Robert Howard has not produced his portion of the hearing transcript since August 1971. Ellison joined the DNR at Kingwood hearings where the Reclamation Board of Review ordered the permit reinstated for H L Kennedy of Pittsburgh. Public outcry led the Governor to revoke the permit issued near Coopers Rock State Forest. Board Chairman W H Dickerson notes two months should have sufficed for the transcript. Preston County’s half is complete. Howard cites caseloads and unclear orders from Judge Marvin R. Kiger as reasons for delay.
